Step by step Pattern

Head:

1. Magic Ring or Chain 2: Start with a Chain 2 or Magic Ring. Work 8 single crochet (SC) into the ring or the first chain.
   • Note: Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round.
2. Round 2: Make 2 SC in each stitch around. (16 stitches)
3. Round 3: [2 SC in the first stitch, 1 SC in the next stitch] repeat around. (24 stitches)
4. Round 4: Begin squaring the head by making specific increases as described below:
   1 SC in the first 2 stitches,
   2 SC in next,
   1 SC in next 4 stitches,
   repeat this sequence for the entire round.
5. Continue increasing rounds, incorporating the squaring instructions, until you reach the desired size of the head, then proceed to straight rounds until you reach the defined head length.
6. Eye Placement: Attach the eyes as described in your notes, securing them from inside.
7. Decrease Rounds: Begin your decrease rounds equivalent to your initial increases until the opening narrows down for the neck.

Body:

1. Magic Ring or Chain 2: Start with 8 SC like the head.
2. Increase rounds by doubling the stitches in the pattern described for the head until you reach the widest point of the body.
3. Work several rounds without increases to define the length of the body.
4. Decrease gradually to shape the lower body and close.

Arms and Legs:

1. Magic Ring or Chain 2: Start with 6 or 8 SC in the ring.
2. Increase slightly in the next two rounds.
3. Work straight on for several rounds until the desired length.
4. Decrease to taper the end of the limbs.
5. Attach the limbs to the body at the appropriate rounds with a tapestry needle or by crocheting them directly to the body.

Tail:

1. Magic Ring or Chain 2: Start with 6 SC in the ring.
2. Switch to blue yarn (or desired color) and work straight or with minimal increases for several rounds.
3. Fasten off and attach to the body.

Ears:

1. Chain a base of 4 or 6 stitches, turn and begin rows of SC, decreasing at the end to create a pointed ear shape.
2. Fasten off and sew to the head.

Finishing Details:

• Embroider nose and any additional details like stripes or blushed cheeks using embroidery floss and a thin crochet hook or needle.
• Use light blue yarn to create additional textural details or to accent parts of the amigurumi as needed.

Assembly:

Sew all parts together using the tapestry needle and secure all loose ends internally. Ensure all safety eyes and embroidered details are secure.

Fill the form of the amigurumi gradually, assessing its shape as it fills. Ensure even distribution of stuffing to maintain the desired form. Adjust the placement of limbs, ears, and tail for balance and aesthetics before finalizing their attachment.
